The Kuttner/Mason Campership Fund
We are very happy to introduce this new campership fund in loving memory of Guy Kuttner and John “Moose” Mason.
For many years before their deaths, Guy and Moose met regularly with their friends Jud Ellinwood, Larry Fine, Jim Steinberg and John Triska.
Last year, to honor the memory of Guy and Moose and serve their love of high mountain wilderness, their commitment to environmental education, and their dedication as teachers, the four friends decided to set up a permanent scholarship fund to pay for all or part of a low-income inner city youngster’s cost for two weeks of outdoor experience at Camp Unalayee in the Trinity Mountains.
The official name of the fund is the Kuttner/Mason Camp Unalayee Scholarship Fund.
The purpose of the fund is to “”financially enable children from low income urban households to have the wilderness experiences provided by Camp Unalayee in the Trinity Mountains.”
The fund has two financial goals:
1. In the short-term, to fund one campership per year.
2. The parallel long-term goal is to build and grow a scholarship endowment fund that will be self-supporting.
Donations to the scholarship fund can be made two ways:
- Send a check to the Humboldt Area Foundation (address the envelope to: HAF. 373 Indianola Road. Bayside, CA, 95524). Be sure to write “for Kuttner/Mason Camp Unalayee Scholarship Fund” on the check’s memo line in order for it to be deposited in the Fund account). Call Jim Steinberg at 707-825-6862 or Jud Ellinwood at 707-443-9153 to have a stamped and addressed return envelope mailed to you or get more information.
